Wigan vs Ipswich Predictions

• Ipswich Town have scored first in five of their last six meetings with Wigan Athletic.
• Both teams have found the back of the net in all of Wigan’s six previous matches.

Lots at stake at the DW Stadium

The Latics welcome Ipswich Town to the DW Stadium knowing that a win could propel them to the top of the League One table. They sit in second place, level on points with top side Rotherham but have a game in hand over them coming into the matchday. Just five points separate first and sixth so each game is vital in order to not lose any ground on those around them.

Points wise, Ipswich Town come into this one being as many points away from the top six as they are from relegation. They sit perfectly in midtable and it’s echoed by their league record, winning seven, drawing six and losing eight matches. They have a pretty poor away record away from home this season, winning just three of their games on the road, drawing just once and losing the other six.

Wigan to secure the win

We think that The Latics will want to make sure their game in hand over those around them will provide the opportunity to snatch top spot rather than making up on the lost ground. The visitors have scored as many away goals as they have let in and we think they’ll still get chances as Wigan burst forward. As such, we think both teams score with Wigan nicking the three points.
